About Wellington Grand Villas

Wellington Grand Villas is a gated villa community in District 11 of Meydan, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, developed by Wellington Developments. The project comprises 22 villas: four-bedroom and five-bedroom villas priced from around AED 19.9 million, plus six-bedroom mansions priced from around AED 23 million, each built to a basement-plus-ground-plus-two-storey (B+G+2) configuration per the developer’s own project listing.

Homes are marketed with smart home technology, private pools, private gardens and rooftop terraces on the six-bedroom mansions, positioning Wellington Grand Villas at the higher end of District 11’s off-plan villa offering. The project follows a 10% booking deposit, 25% during-construction and 65% on-handover payment plan. Expected handover currently sits around early 2028 per two independent sources; a separate portal instead cites a Q4 2027 target, so the exact date should be confirmed directly with the developer or a registered agent closer to completion.

One independent portal (propsearch.ae) names the registered developer entity as "MBR Mansions Real Estate Development" rather than Wellington Developments. This most likely reflects the specific project company registered with the Dubai Land Department, distinct from the Wellington Developments brand under which the project is marketed, since the developer's own official website lists Wellington Grand Villas directly among its own projects and Property Finder's own project listing independently names Wellington Developments as the brand. The storey configuration (B+G+2) is sourced from the developer's own project listing only and was not independently cross-verified against a second source this session. Wellington Developments should also not be confused with its own other, unrelated projects: Wellington Ocean and Wellington Ocean Walk are separate apartment buildings on Dubai Islands, a different part of the city.


Location & Nearby Landmarks

Wellington Grand Villas sits within District 11 of Meydan, part of the wider Mohammed Bin Rashid City masterplan. District 11 borders Nad Al Sheba’s equestrian district and sits close to Meydan Racecourse, with Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary roughly a 10-minute drive away.

Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa are reachable in roughly 15 to 20 minutes via Al Khail Road and MBR City’s internal road network, and Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 25 to 27 minutes away depending on traffic. For a wider view of District 11 and the other independent developments within it, see Royale Stays’ District 11, MBR City area guide. The nearest District 11 community with a real Royale Stays management history is Wadi Villas by Arista Properties, a separate 30-villa development in the same district; Knightsbridge by LEOS Developments, another off-plan villa and townhouse community, also sits nearby.

Drive times are approximate and reflect District 11's general position within MBR City, consistent with the neighbouring District 11 area guide and its own building-level guides (Wadi Villas, Knightsbridge, Opal Gardens).


Villa Types

Wellington Grand Villas comprises 22 villas across three bedroom configurations: four-bedroom villas, five-bedroom villas priced from around AED 19.9 million, and six-bedroom mansions priced from around AED 23 million, per the developer’s own listing and independently corroborated pricing on Property Finder’s official project page. The six-bedroom mansions are marketed with private pools, lounges and rooftop terraces; all homes include modern kitchens, smart home technology and private gardens, per the developer’s own marketing material.


Amenities

Confirmed across independent sources, Wellington Grand Villas includes 24-hour security and CCTV surveillance, a swimming pool, and a dedicated children’s play area. Marketing material also lists a jogging track, an outdoor cinema and landscaped seating areas per one portal, alongside a gymnasium and on-site restaurants per a separate portal; the exact final amenity roster had not fully converged across sources at the time of writing, likely reflecting the project’s still-evolving marketing material ahead of handover.


Transportation & Access

Like the rest of District 11, Wellington Grand Villas has no Dubai Metro station of its own; residents currently rely on cars or taxis, though a wider MBR City metro expansion has been reported as part of Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road provide the main routes in and out of the district.


At sales launch, Wellington Grand Villas units were priced from around AED 19.9 million, rising to AED 23 million and above for the six-bedroom mansions, with Property Finder’s own listing showing prices currently ranging up to roughly AED 30.6 million. The project follows a 10% booking deposit, 25% during-construction and 65% on-handover payment plan. As an off-plan project still under construction, Wellington Grand Villas does not yet have a completed-unit resale history. Owners weighing a purchase here against other MBR City villa options can model both scenarios with Royale Stays’ Dubai property ROI calculator.


Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including a villa at Wellington Grand Villas, requires a DTCM holiday home permit. Wellington Developments is a standard private freehold developer, not a hotel brand or serviced-apartment operator, so once handover completes the permit is applied for directly, the same routing that applies at Wadi Villas, MAG City and other MBR City villa communities. Read more in Royale Stays’ holiday home permit guide.

Royale Stays does not currently manage a property at Wellington Grand Villas, and because the community is still under construction ahead of its expected late 2027 to early 2028 handover, no Wellington Grand Villas-specific short-term rental listing or earnings data exists yet anywhere. The company’s real Dubai villa short-term rental track record comes from a managed villa in MAG City, part of the same MBR City masterplan, plus villas in DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2. Royale Stays’ Airbnb management services, furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, are available from a management fee starting at 15%. Owners planning ahead of handover can submit their property for a free assessment.

Income data reflects Royale Stays' own managed MAG City villa, a separate MBR City property, Hospitable-verified for December 2025 to April 2026, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator. Wellington Grand Villas-specific performance data does not exist yet; the project has not been handed over as of this guide's publication.



Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Wellington Grand Villas is an off-plan gated villa community in District 11 of Meydan, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), developed by Wellington Developments. It comprises 22 villas across four, five and six-bedroom layouts, with the six-bedroom homes marketed as mansions with private pools and rooftop terraces, and is expected to hand over around late 2027 to early 2028.
No. Wellington Grand Villas is a 22-villa community in Meydan, District 11. Wellington Ocean and Wellington Ocean Walk are separate, unrelated apartment buildings by the same developer, Wellington Developments, located on Dubai Islands, a different part of the city entirely. This guide covers Wellington Grand Villas specifically.
Wellington Grand Villas, Wadi Villas and Knightsbridge are three separate, unrelated developments within the same District 11 of Meydan. Wadi Villas is a 30-villa community by Arista Properties, already fully covered by Royale Stays; Knightsbridge is a 112-home community by LEOS Developments; Wellington Grand Villas is a smaller, 22-villa community by Wellington Developments, priced at the higher end of the district’s off-plan villa offering. See Royale Stays’ District 11, MBR City area guide for the fuller picture.
Structurally, yes, once handover completes. No building-specific prohibition on short-term letting was found, and Wellington Developments is not a hotel-branded developer with the kind of restriction that applies to buildings like Vida. Any owner would still need a DTCM holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism before listing, the same standard requirement across Dubai.
Royale Stays’ confirmed Dubai villa short-term rental track record currently comes from a managed villa in MAG City plus villas in DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2, so it does not yet have management history at Wellington Grand Villas specifically, which is still under construction. Once handover completes, Royale Stays can manage furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination for a fee starting from 15%; owners can submit their property for a free assessment ahead of handover.
